10 Amazingly Bad Action Films You've Never Seen

8. Deadly Prey

A cheap 80s rip-off of The Most Dangerous Game, Deadly Prey tells the story of a crazy mercenary who kidnaps strangers for his soldiers to hunt until he makes the mistake of abducting his former protégé, who starts killing his boys one after the other. When the merc realizes his mistake, it leads to the obligatory scene where he says, “Know him? I trained him!”

Fortunately, the protégé is played by bad movie veteran Ted Prior (Surf Nazis Must Die, Aerobicide), whose thesping makes Dolph Lundgren look like Laurence Olivier. He probably got the job because the writer/director is David Prior – his brother.

Come the finale, Ted scalps one bad guy and clubs another to death with his own severed arm before the movie ends with a freeze-frame shot of him howling in rage. They really don’t make them like this anymore, which is probably just as well.
